The term "flying saucer" was coined on this date, 2005 June 25, in 1947 when an American pilot reported seeing strange objects near Mt. Rainier, WA, describing them as "saucers skipping across the water." Fifty years later, also on this date, the U.S. Air Force released its report on the Roswell Incident, stating that the UFO's and aliens that were reportedly seen near Roswell, NM, in 1947, were actually life-sized dummies.
